\"Update\"[German<\/a>]Microsoft has published security updates for Windows on October 11, 2022 – among others also the update KB5018421<\/a> for Windows Server 2022. So far so good – but now they already offer a security update for \"Windows Server 22H2\" – whereby it is unclear to me what this is about. It seems also that a new category with this name has been established in WSUS.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"German blog reader Thorsten pointed this out in this comment<\/a>. Within the Microsoft Update Catalog<\/a> there are two update packages listed by Microsoft for two server variants – once \"Microsoft Server operating system-21H2\" and also \"Microsoft Server Operating System-22H2\" (see the screenshot below).<\/p>\n

\"Update<\/p>\n

Any of you have an idea what this could mean? Is there a \"yearly update\" for Windows Server 2022 in the making, which once slipped out accidentally? At least German blog reader Siegfried B. writes here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I would also like to know. If I click on the link in the update catalog, I get to the patch notes for Windows Server 2022. \"Microsoft Server Operating System-22H2\" is also a new category in WSUS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another user shared the following screenshot with me on FB showing the WSUS categories.<\/p>\n

\"WSUS:<\/p>\n

As Siegfried B wrote: Googling has brought nothing. <\/em>But maybe someone of you has an idea – possibly it is the continuation of the September topic from my blog post WSUS chaos: Preview updates for Windows and Net withdrawn as superseded on 9\/21\/2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PS: It shouldn't actually be the Windows 10 22H2, since this is a client operating system. And all new server versions are supposed to be LTSC – the last semi-annual version was Windows Server 20H2, which is already out of support.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Addendum:<\/strong> I've raised the question on Twitter<\/a> – but till now, the question hasn't been answered satisfactorily.<\/p>\n

Addendum 2:<\/strong> The case are getting traction,\u00a0Brandon LeBlanc has answerded<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Not sure but my guess is its a typo that mixes up Windows 11 version 22H2 with Windows Server 2022. Will have to look into it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another Microsoft employee @ariaupdated reached out and said<\/a> it was an update for the Azure Stack HCI, which is updated once a year and applies to virtual machines in the Azure Cloud. This update is not available for on-premises servers. I pointed out that this was confusing – and she now wants<\/a> to have this described more clearly by the people responsible …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
